US media reported that on the morning of August 6, local time, the Albuquerque police found a Muslim man shot dead, which is the fourth Muslim man who was shot dead in the local area in nine months. It is reported that the first three victims were killed on November 2021, July 26 and August 1, 2022. The local police believe that the above-mentioned cases are suspected to be relatively relevant and may be targeted hate attacks. The details of the case are under investigation.
Harris and Biden responded on twitter one after another. Biden said: "four Muslim men were shot and killed in Albuquerque one after another. I am both angry and sad. While waiting for the results of the police investigation, I have always prayed for the families of the victims. My government stands firmly with Muslim groups, and the United States will never tolerate hate attacks."
Tahir Gauba, the relevant director of the Islamic center in New Mexico, said that the local Muslim people, especially the students living near the shooting site, have been plunged into great panic.
It is reported that on the day of the incident, Naeem Hussain, the fourth victim, went to the local Muslim center to attend the funeral to mourn the victims killed in the past two weeks. After only a few hours, he was shot again.
On this, netizens commented:
"Stop discriminating between different races. They are all the same people. Stop religious discrimination."
"There is a serial killer who murdered Muslims in Albuquerque, but the media rarely reported it and failed to fulfill the responsibility of letting the public know. This is because it does not conform to their mainstream narrative position of 'Islamic terrorism'. If we want to change this position, our group will be isolated and helpless."
"Anti Muslim sentiment is spreading in the western world. After reading this news in the United States, several Muslims have been killed in one state alone. I think this is the killing of white supremacy terrorists."
"The West's attempt to play down the threat of extreme right-wing terrorism is causing great harm!"
"Four Muslims died. Biden tweeted mourning. But in Chicago, countless black people are killed every day, and the white house does not care."
